A member asked:

I accidentally took my 150mg of zoloft (sertraline) twice tonight. i'm breastfeeding, should i be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hold breastfeeding: Although the "extra" Zoloft (sertraline) dosage may not impact the baby, it would be wise to use previously frozen breast milk for now and wait for 12 hours before resuming active breastfeeding.
